A privileged routine did not safely handle a filesystem path that the lower-privileged account could influence, allowing the attacker to cause a root-owned operation to run arbitrary commands with the highest privileges. Exploitation requires existing local access to that service account.","cvssScore":7.8,"cvssSeverity":"HIGH","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","cwes":["CWE-59","CWE-269"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/kiteworks/security-advisories/security/advisories/GHSA-gwj7-wxrr-28v5","tags":[]},{"url":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cisagov/CSAF/develop/csaf_files/VA/white/2026/va-26-274-01.json","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[{"url":"https://github.com/kiteworks/security-advisories/security/advisories/GHSA-gwj7-wxrr-28v5","tags":[]}],"hasPoc":true,"ai":{"summary":"This vulnerability allows an attacker with code execution privileges on a backend service account to escalate to root, enabling them to run arbitrary commands with the highest system privileges.","exploitability":"Exploitation requires existing local access to the service account and manipulation of a filesystem path, making it moderately difficult.","blast_radius":"If exploited, the attacker could gain full control over the system, leading to potential data loss, system compromise, and unauthorized access to sensitive information.","remediation":"Upgrade to the latest version of Kiteworks, or apply the vendor's recommended patch (e.g., 'Upgrade to 2.590 or later').","detection":"No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.","tags":["rce","privilege-escalation","filesystem","backend"],"model":"qwen2.5:7b-instruct","analyzedAt":"2026-10-07T08:59:21.319Z"}}
